Being a Montreal fan for about 40 years I am naturally picking them to win. Anyone else out there interested ? I and a few friends have been getting together for about 30 years at Grey Cup and enjoying a little fun. It has become a ritual that brings old friends together and maintains ties that we've shared since childhood. Nowadays we spend the weekend at a cottage living a beer commercial; drinking beer, having barbecues, playing poker and playing a little touch football. Does anyone else maintain similar ties and rituals? |

But they have a seriously tough game ahead of them. I wish I had plans but I don't. BUT, this is the one time a year I break my 'ignore the TV' thing and purposely set out to find a place to watch the game. |

From: Raptor What was up with that shitty halftime act? 5 idiots jumping up and down shouting moronic statements wearing bad golf clothes? Does this shit pass for music nowadays? Thats why the CFL only has 18 fans. They get a group that only 7 year olds can appreciate but 7 year olds don't watch football!!! Raptor |
